Well the Canelo fight too. People already moving goalposts saying Canelo is declined/shot. The problem is, Canelo IS declined/shot, but bonafide SMWs couldnt expose him (Munguia, Charlo, Ryder, Plant, BJS, Berlanga, etc.). If it was so easy, why did none of those guys do it? Why did it take a blown-up WW ?
Spence secured 3 belts and the better competition at WW. Bud had 1 belt and knocked off Spence. Spence made the fight happen when Bud wasnt feeling the early negotiations. Any other theory is revisionist history.
Bud ALWAYS wanted the Spence fight. It was ALWAYS PBC/Haymon that didnt want the fight. Combine Spence w Thurman and Danny Garcia and its clear as day that PBC blackballed Bud. And they did so for GOOD reason
